Unrrnn rnrns PATENT rrrna JAMES CARLTON, OF WILLOXV, CALIFORNA, ASSIGNOR OF ONEHALF T M. TYLER, OF SAME PLACE.

ADJUSTABLE'ELEVATOR-SUPPOR'' FOR DERRICK WAGONS.

SPECIECATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,066, dated June 2, 1885.

Application filed April 9, 1885. (No modal.)

T0 aZZ w7wm 2516 mtty concern:

Be it known that I, Jnnns CARLTON, of Willow, Colnsa eounty, State of California, have invented an Improvement in Adjnstable E16- vator-Supports for Derrick-Wagons; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,

irame is snpported, said axle being attached to the rear anle of the derriok-wagon by means of pivoted oross-reaehes and a connecting-bar,

20 whereby the whole devioe beeomes a part of the derrick-wagon and aeeompanies it.

The objeot of my invention is to provide a permanent support for the elevator, adapted to adjnst it to a snitable inclination, and thns to avoid the labor reqnired to ship and unship the elevator and place it in position.

Referrig to the accompanying drawing, the figure is a perspective view of my elevatorsupport.

A is a vertical frame, whieh may be constructed in any suitable manner, thongh pref erably of two gaspipe standards, a, and a cross top pieee. a, also of gaspipe, connected with the standards by elbows a B is the cross head or support. It consists of a bar extending transversely between the standards, and lraving grooves b in its ends, by whieh it is fitted npon said standards, and is adapted to move vertieally thereon. It is held to its place by straps b", embraoing standards (6. The lowor portion of the frame A is seoured npon a bolster, 0, in a manner which I shall hereinafter describe.

D is a slotted standard, in which is pivoted a lever, E, the short arm of which is connected by links 6 with the cross-head. By operating the lever E the crosshead is moved up and down on its side guides. The links 6 are soonred to the cross-head by means of eyebear- 4 ings e, in which they are pivoted, said bearings lpeing seated in angle-bars e seeured to the Grosshead and aoting as guides on the sides a.

F is a portion of the rear of a derriok-wagon, which is made of the nsual form, having a rear axle, G.

H is a snpplementary wheoled axle.

I are cross-machos pivoted to the rear axle, G, of the derrickwagon, and to the supplementary wheeled axle.

Pivoted by a king-bolt, J, on the top of the supplementary axle'is the bolster 0, which is connected with the rear axle of the derrickwagon by a reaeh or eonneoting-bar, K, whioh is pivoted in the block or bed of the rear axle. 6 5

Upon the bolster 0 is secured by bolts Z the two-part piece L. This piece receives the standards a et the frame A, and clamps them by means of the bolts Z. Ihe elevator N (which is here shown in dotted lines) entends 7c from the derrick-wagon to the cross-head B, and rests thereon. Ordinarily the elevacor bas to be shipped and unshipped froin the feeder, and as it is very heavy (weighing about one thousand ponnds) it reqnires the whole orew to manipnlate it. VVhenever it is to be placed in position ready for work, it has to be pnlled baek off of the derriokwagon and snp ported in some way above the feeder, (anneaessary herein to show,) to which it earries its load.

The advantage of my device is, that, being connected With the derriek-wagon, the elevator may be loft permanently in position, and thns carried aronnd with the wagon. By the 8 5 manipulation of the lever E- the discharge end of the elevator' may be raisod or lowered at Will, and the limits of motion may be defined by means of a series of holes, m, made in the lever, by which the movement of its short arm c may be inoreased or diminished by pivoting it in varions holes of the series. Thepeonliar oonnection between the device and the dertaohment to the derrick-wagon in this manner When the npon the center of bolster C, and act as braoes to support the weight.

Having chus deseribed 1ny invention, wvhat I daim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. An adjustable support for the rear end of the elevator of a feeder, consisting of the base-piece L, the frame A, supported by said base-piece, the moving cross head or bar B, mountedbetween the sides of the frame, and the means for vertcally adjusting said cross head, consisting of the lever E, pivoted in the standard D, supported by the basepieee, and the links (3, connecting the lever with the eross head, snbstantiall y as herein described,

2. A devioe for supportingthe rear end of the elevatorof a feeder, consist-ing of the basepiece L, the frame A, supported thereon, the

cross-head B, sIiding Within and guided by the frame, the slotted standard D, the lever E, provided With a series of holes, m, by which it may be adjnstably pivoted in the standard D, and the links 6, conneeting the lever With the cross-head, snbstantially as herein described.

3. In a device for supporting the elevator of a feeder, the frame A, vonsisting of gas-pipe standards (1, and gas-pipe eross-head a, conneotedwith the sides of the frame by elbows, the two-parb base-piece L, receiving the gaspipe side pieces, and the clannping-boltsl, by which the two-parb base-piece is made to bind and secnre the frame A, in combination with the vertieally-adjnstablecross-head B, monnbed npon and between the side standards of the said frame, snbstantially as herein described.

4. The supplemenbary wheeled axle H, con-- nected with the derrick-wagon, and the bolster C on said axle, in eombinabion with the frame A, seoured to the bolster, and the vertieally-adjustable -eross-head B in the frame A,substantially as herein desribed.

5. The supplementarywheeled axle H, connected on attached to therear of the derrek-- wagon, and thebolster 0 on said axle, in combinabion with the -nwo-part base-pece L, seeured by bolts Z :0 thdbolster,the:fram A,

clamped by said base-pece, the oross-head B;

end of the elevator, snostantially as herein desoribed.

7. In combinabon Wibh the derriok'wagon haVing:a rean axle and an elevator, the snpplementary wheeed.axle H, having a pivoted bolster, 0, the frame A, seonred to the bolscer, the sliding cross head or rest B in the frame, and the 1ever E and1inks a, by

which said cross-head is vertically adjusted, and the means bywhioh the stipplementary axle is connected with the derrick-wagon, consisting of the cross-machos I, pivoted to the supplementary ax1e and to the rear ax1e of the derrick-wagon, and the eonneetngbarK, secured to the bolster 0 and pivoted 1:0 the rear axlebed 'of the derrick-wagon, all arranged and adapted to operatesnbstantially as herein described;

In witness whereof I have herennto set my -hand.

JAMES CARLION.
